Super Bowl Style – If the participants were clothes

.Beer bottles have faced each other in the big game before. So finding style world alter-egos for the individuals participating in XLVI ain’t all that far fetched.

Players, coaches, and even part of the half time act have been cast in a sartorial light. Will this help you figure out just who’s going to win this thing? Maybe. Okay, probably not. But at least this way, if you don’t have a dog in this fight, you can root for your favorite shirt. Or against a horrid accessory. Let’s kick it off with the Golden Boy….

Came out of seemingly nowhere a few years back and has been dominating ever since. Maybe beginning to wind down. Hugely popular yet absolutely hated by some. Expensive. Difficult to find affordable versions of. (The cheaper version, of course, is the DSW house brand Mercantile Fiorentini. Photo Credit:Keith Allison

The more expensive relative might get all the attention, but the quieter, cheaper option is a true foundation that quietly does what needs to be done and often excels at it. Tougher than most. Photo Credit: AJ Guel

A favorite weapon. Excels on the interior with other options surrounding. Not real flashy. Can take a solid beating. White. (The L.E.C. one is full price. This or this option from Brooks Brothers are both a little funky, but cheaper and could be layered.) Photo Credit:Brian J. McDermott

Old school. A younger contemporary would struggle to seem natural. Sometimes appears a little out of touch with the nuances of today, and continues to risk being thrown to the trash heap, but continues to survive and excel.

I’m a huge Bengals fan and I’m still mad that Corey Dillon left and got a championship w/ the Pats, although I suppose you can’t blame him. I used to hold Chad in very high regard until he did the same treasonous thing. So thanks for equating him to a trucker hat, I feel somewhat vindicated. Go G-men!!!

I gotta root for the Patriots – one of my elementary-through-high-school classmates plays for them. I can’t say I care much about either team otherwise. Eli Manning’s weird herp-derp face has always bothered me, though.
